Not so much different, except that:
- the switch won't need to be on the command line
So, is the switch set in code? If so, what would that look like?

So far, I only have the "extension" method, where a global variable is
set directly from within the C-interface, as currently done with the
debug assert:
Include/pydebug.h : int Py_RuntimeAssertFlag = 1;
Your_extension/main.c : SetFlag(Py_RuntimeAssertFlag);
I think what's confusing to me (and maybe others) is that we haven't
seen your vision on how this would look in Python code.
An example that would throw runtime assertions and the same example
where it wouldn't (after a global switch is set?) would be helpful.
